Your problem is probably with DNS.


Is the server you are trying to ping on the same local area network (house/office) as the computer you are trying to ping from?


If you host your own DNS on the server - and have the server name set up on the DNS server with the internal ip address - make sure your DNS server's internal ip is set up as the primary DNS server within Network Preferences --> <network interface (e.g. Ethernet or Wifi; unlock if locked)> --> Advanced --> DNS Tab: Under DNS Servers.
